Job losses are the worst thing in a recession. It is also one of the key indicators to look at when watching for the recovery.

When the news starts telling us a recovery is underway look at the unemployment figures for the true picture if the rate of decline is slowing then possibly, If not then no recovery is underway.

Handy little gadget but how much use will people put it to? I am old enough to remember the days before PC's. Electronic diary's and address books were all the rage at one time but were quite cumbersome in entering data.
It was time consuming for little reward.
I feel the pointing and gesturing will soon prevail if people come to see this as a similar gadget.

This would be a very useful tool for anyone unfamiliar with an area or Country they are travelling too!! That said most of the information collated is in the public domain and can be researched by the end user by use of our old friend google.

All that said though if you are in a hurry and need access to information quickly than can be printed off as an ebook to go then this could be for you.

I looked at my hometown and I particularly liked safety information about where not to go after dark. It was up to date and certainly topical. This is perhaps something that would have to be discovered by local knowledge or a deep root around in google.
